I want to apologize for the infrequent blogs. But this revelation will be worth it. It is a duet of fixing things. A self question and a foot step down the journey of peace.

What are your passions? What things make you live?

Kids, pets, spouse, friends?

As the pictures of "The Girls" show, you can't say the Catahulla isn't cute, and the lab, well, she is special, like her dad. A little crazy and skiddish, but just as big a lover as anything. My friends, words can't describe how wonderful these people are. They have carried me through hell, lifted me out of the holes I've dug, and wiped my tears. And for my son, who gave me the life I have to give back to my friends and the world.

These are the reasons I fight. These are the reasons I now can live. I have found a purpose to my life. The unconditional love I have for my son, I am trying to give to the world by giving it to everyone I meet. I hope that I am doing that. I hope that I am a loving example, like my friends have been.

What is your inspiration for life? Standing in a window and feeling the sun on your face, smiling at a dog with it's head out of the window of a car, seeing a child play?

We each need to find what gives us life, what makes us live. We then can start doing things we need to do because we have a reason to keep fighting.
